I just got a holster for my Glock 22 and it fits my Sigma SW9VE well so I am sure it will fit the SD.

oldtexan,
that seems to be a dead link. it wouldn't open for me from tapatalk...but link or no link...I have a Blackhawk! CQC Serpa holster that is a stage 2 retention and it functions flawlessly. I've heard about the concerns of some shooters, but honestly...someone would have to exhibit EMENSE firearms negligence to shoot themselves or others while deploying their weapon from this holster. I will admit that I bought my first sidearm(SD40 VE) about 7 weeks ago...growing up in southern Alabama I am no stranger to firearms, but I had only handled a few pistols in my life...however...I have been obsessive about firearms safety...as i believe we all should be...and i constantly read on here and have been trying to learn every aspect of my pistol...the more information the better. I do not remotely know all there is to know about pistols or firearms for that matter, but I do know that all firearms are only as safe as the operator of that firearm. I would recommend the Blackhawk! Serpa to anyone! it is extremely comfortable and very easy to quickly and safely deploy my sidearm. for me, it was the perfect solution to open carry my SD. I love my Serpa and my SD!
I hope this eases the mind of someone considering the Serpa...and I hope I didn't sound like a douche...cause that was not my intention...
thanks,
Daniel

from what I have read on people shooting themselves or having accidental discharges with a Blackhawk Serpa holster, they have been pushing the release button incorrectly. Instead of applying slight pressure while sliding the index finger across the release which aligns the index finger in the correct location on the slide. they have been pressing with the finger tip. This allows the finger to slip inside the trigger guard and onto the trigger. result is BANG.

IMHO any holster that could allow a ND is not a holster that I would wish to use. Under stress of a situation where one needs to deploy a handgun is going to be stressfull. The holster just needs to cover the trigger and the user should not need to operate anything to get there handgun in to use. Just KISS if retention is need due to job requirements then they are other manufactors that have holsters that do not present issues of NDing while deploying the handgun.

That's just it.. the holster isn't causing the ND, it's the person drawing the weapon and putting their finger on the trigger before acquiring the target. A proper draw will not have you placing the finger on the trigger.
It really comes down to building muscle memory. Luckily I work from home and I can practice drawing 50-100 times a day. I practice both concealed draw with a t-shirt or jacket covering my weapon (unloaded) and I practice as if I were open carrying. Just to build the muscle memory that will take over in a crisis situation. It was the same reason we practiced over and over in the military.

Just for the record, this is not true more often than not. I have about 15 holsters for the M&P and only about 3-4 of them will fit my SD9 or SD9VE. Anything molded like custom kydex will not fit and even some leather holsters won't. The best holster I have for the SD9 under the guise of being an M&P holster is the Bianchi 75 Venom.
As far as the Serpa holsters go, there is also the issue of debris blocking the release mechanism. It was because of this that the military and some law enforcement agencies dumped them.

I'd like to get a leather one eventually but the ones I have found are a bit out of my pricerange, and i'm worried about them being kinda sticky.
I'm still looking at -http://shop.blade-tech.com/revolution-94045-p-384.html but idk since it says m&p if it'll fit my sdve.
(EBK- if i went with this one, you think it'll be ok?)

M&P 4.25 inch barrel holsters fit the SD9/40 just fine. my blackhawk is made for a M&P and works like a charm.
i love my serpa. never had a ND, my finger never comes close to the trigger. people who have ND while using a serpa do so because of operator error, not the holsters fault the operator is a idiot

I like the Serpa myself.
I can't blame a holster of any kind for improper use or training.

I have 2 guns I carry often and I use the same holster and love it. I carry either a SD40VE and a Stoeger Cougar Compact and both fit perfectly as do many other similar sized guns. This is by far the most comfortable holster I have ever had. I carry the Original Tuckable model.

Your friend and I have the same problem carrying IWB. If he doesn't mind leather instead of Kydex, have him look at the DeSantis Speed Scabbard. It rides high, has adjustable retention, two cant positions, and fits the gun perfectly.

-There is just something about a nice leather holster that I like way more than the kydex stuff.

I have the same problem of having a big gut and not wanting to carry my sd9ve and my sd40ve IWB. I purchased the fobus evolution paddle holster and I am happy with it. I still want to try carrying IWB so I just ordered a Alien Gear holster yesterday. Price was about $36 shipped. They seem like nice holsters. Will post some pictures when it comes.

-I'm right there with you. I'm looking at something like the DeSantis Speed Scabbard too. Or the Tagua PD2 paddle holster. At 5'11" and 252 lbs, I'm not exactly svelte! I don't exactly have a big gut, I'm built more like a tree trunk/stump. People don't think I weigh what I do, but yeah, I do. That's the farm boy in me, I guess! Here's a pic of me from last summer during a golf outing...
